Bayley announces next Lodestone Women’s Wrestling Seminar

Posted on by Ian Carey

Bayley has announced when the next Lodestone Women’s Wrestling Seminar will take place.

In a video posted to social media, she revealed that the first class of 2026 will be held during WrestleMania Week in Las Vegas on Thursday, April 16. The session will run from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Bayley said:

“Lodestone Women is back, and we’re calling to all experienced female wrestlers. It doesn’t matter your level of experience because we want to see you this April in Las Vegas, Nevada.”

“I just can’t wait. This is something I’ve been really excited about for a few months now, so please email [email protected] and I cannot wait to see all of you there.”

The first Lodestone Women’s Wrestling Camp, run by Bayley, took place over three days in Orlando, Florida from December 4 to December 6, 2025. Among those who attended the camp were Bayley’s former superfan Izzy Moreno, Janai Kai, Dani Mo, Brooke Havok, and Nikki Blackheart. Guest coaches included John Cena, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Natalya, and Lyra Valkyria.

WWE star Bayley planning second women’s wrestling camp

WWE star Bayley is already putting plans in place to hold a second edition of her Lodestone women’s wrestling camp.

The inaugural Lodestone weekend, held in Orlando in December 2025, was a seminar open to indie wrestlers with prior experience. After choosing the attendees from a group of applicants, Bayley paid for all expenses except for travel. John Cena, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Natalya, and Lyra Valkyria all made surprise visits during the seminar and spent time with the indie prospect.

Bayley documented the first Lodestone weekend in a YouTube vlog. It ends with the announcement that there will be another camp taking place in Las Vegas in 2026. No dates have been announced yet, but it presumably will be happening during WrestleMania week this April.

“This first Lodestone seminar camp experience has just exceeded all of my expectations,” Bayley said. “And I already felt while I was reading the emails and while I was going through everything that I’m going to need to do this again, because the list that I have is so long. There are so many talented women out there. This is definitely something that I’m going to continue to do.”

Flatbacks — a wrestling school run by Shawn Spears and Tyler Breeze — hosted the first camp. The Lodestone name is a reference to a magnetite that some believe helps with attraction and manifestation.

Establishing her own wrestling school is a long-term goal for Bayley, who would also be open to potentially working behind the scenes in WWE whenever her in-ring career ends. She is part of a tag team with Lyra Valkyria at the moment, with both confirmed as entrants for the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble match this Saturday.

Stephanie McMahon applauds WWE star Bayley for ‘leadership and sacrifice’

Bayley caught the attention of Stephanie McMahon with her Lodestone Women 2025 seminar.

On X/Twitter today, McMahon sent out a message applauding Bayley for her leadership and sacrifice. The WWE star held a free seminar in Orlando over the weekend for up-and-coming women’s wrestlers. The three-day camp included visits from WWE competitors Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Natalya, and Lyra Valkyria — and John Cena even showed up to spend a day with the attendees.

“Thank YOU for your leadership and sacrifice @itsBayleyWWE! And for helping mentor and grow the next generation of female wrestlers!,” McMahon tweeted. “@JohnCena showed up, as did everyone else, because of the opportunity YOU created (and mostly paid for out of your own pocket). The future is in excellent hands #Lodestone2025”

The seminar was open to women outside of WWE who already have experience wrestling on the indies. Bayley selected the attendees from a group of applicants and paid for all expenses aside from travel. The “Lodestone” name refers to a magnetite that some believe helps with attraction and manifestation.

Cena attended the last day of the camp, which was a 10-match card that the attendees participated in.

Bayley’s long-term goal is opening her own wrestling school. Whenever her career in the ring ends, she could be interested in continuing her time with WWE in a behind-the-scenes position like producing.

After the conclusion of the Lodestone seminar, Bayley appeared on Raw last night and accompanied Valkyria for a match against Roxanne Perez. Interference by Liv Morgan helped Perez get the victory.

John Cena spends day at Bayley’s Lodestone women’s wrestling camp

John Cena is spending part of his last week as an active wrestler by doing a lot of high-profile interviews and spending time with the future of the business.

Bayley posted on social media Saturday that the soon-to-be retired megastar spent a “legit eight hours” at her multi-day inaugural Lodestone women’s wrestling seminar/camp that she is covering the costs for.

Thus far, WWE wrestlers like Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Natalya and Lyra Valkyria have taken part in sharing their wisdom.

Enter Cena who spent his Saturday watching ten matches over his eight hours. Our Bryan Alvarez reported that Cena brought a notepad, took notes on all the matches and then met with every wrestler individually to give them personal advice.

From Bayley’s post on X (seen below):

“No conversation or piece of advice could’ve impacted me the way he did today, by just showing up. Not just for me, but for each person in that room. This meant the world. I’ll always strive to be what John was today. THE GOAT.”

Cena will step into the ring for the final time this Saturday against Gunther on Saturday Night’s Main Event from Washington, DC.
